Mine has gotten better over a period of several years; they all are infected, but only the great toenails are thickened. When I started, the nails on the big toe (that is, the right toe on the left foot and the left toe on the right foot, on mine, anyway) and they were down to about 1/3 the bed length. Now, they are covering the nail bed and still thickened at the last 1/8" + and not attached there. I have not had the perseverance to soak then in MSM/CS or to put DMSO/CS on them regularly. I think one should try all of it all the time to make a possibility of it working.
Another unproven and, unlike the other methods, potentially dangerous scheme: Use a small hand motor tool with a grinder wheel to thin the nail where it is thickened to that the various solutions may have a better chance to penetrate. If you try and get it paper thin, it gets suddenly hot, and you may note a spot of blood. Still, it beats conventional treatment; either incredibly toxic drugs, or they surgically cut off the nail(s) and let them grow back. The problem seems to be the nail-growth rate v. the fungus-nail-eating rate. I did the grind job once, but then was too busy/spaced to put on the DMSO/CS more than a few times. I think drinking the stuff helps as well.

I would suspect that continued oral CS for a year might do it, because I think it takes a year for new toenail. But my top-of-the-head thought is this: How about soaking the toes in warm CS for 20 minutes, 2X per day -- warming it in a non- metal pan, of course, and covering ankles and pan with a towel to avoid light dddurin soaking, then pouring it back into storage between applications. The warm water will tend to soften the toenails temporarily and perhaps get in where it can do some good. Can anyone comment on this method? -----Original Message----- From: Marshall Dudley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2001 1:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CS>more help needed CS would likely kill the fungus if you could get it to it, but unfortunately, it is very difficult to get the CS to the source of the fungus. Perhaps oral CS if taken in sufficient quantity would help.
